With a new coaching staff and some additions at skill positions, Philip Rivers appears to have regained his form.

After struggling the last three years, the Chargers quarterback is having a career season. Going into Sunday's game against the Bengals, he leads the league in completion percentage (70.8 percent) and is in the top 10 in almost every major passing statistic. In last week's win at Kansas City, Rivers threw for 392 yards and three touchdowns. It was the fourth time this season he has thrown for 390-plus yards, tying a single-season mark held by Dan Marino and Joe Montana.
